As a resident of the Awatea Park subdivision, I am writing to ask for support in improving the Awatea Park Playground. Currently, the playground lacks adequate resources and is not meeting the needs of the growing number of families in our community.

Mr Makwana would like to see the park upgraded with additional equipment added, particularly a set of swings. He advised that he has already spoken to Council Parks staff who have advised that there is currently no funding available for an upgrade.
